Hi Bryan,
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">I wish we could claim Congress has most of the data from OpenStack APIs already available for policy, but that’s not the case today.  </div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">If it were me, I’d start with your use cases, figure out which services and API calls you’ll need to support those use cases, and then check if those APIs are already available in Congress.  </div>

Since I have to understand the code anyway going to the drivers for current info is reasonable.<br class="">

Can I derive from your statement "One of Congress’s goals is to make any data available via an API call to policy-related" that Congress already exposes (in Congress tables) most/all data available through OpenStack component APIs? That would save me digging
 through the OpenStack code as well.<br class="">
